So far so good

RC,
I would like a list of upgrades on your RC18, I have a FT RC18T that I have put touring car tires on (they don't balloon at all!). I have a mamba 6800 combo with 1500 3S LIPO, and MIP superdiffs (other ones melted in 2 mins.) Are there any other drivetrain upgrades that you would suggest, because I figure mine will need them, since the power is uncontrollable at any speed. Also, how do you have your wing mounted, the best way I have seen so far is to cut the nub off of each mount and use zip ties. Thanks.

I am only runnign 6 cells on the 6800, and only have a MIP super diff in the rear. I ran it for a long time though with stock diffs and it did great. With the upgraded diffs in the front and rear, it should do fine with 3s lipo on the 6800. I have 3racing shocks in the rear, and factory team shocks in the front. I have 3racing CVD's in the rear, and MIP CVD's in the front. I also have 3racing turnbuckles. Multiple replaced stock shock towers. Deans connectors... I know there are more, I just can't remember at the moment what they are. I'll let you know when I have it in front of me.
